Being
one
among
the
most
anticipated
Indian
movies
of
the
recent
times,
the
amount
of
expectation
bestowed
on
2.0
has
been
huge.
The
audiences
did
expect
nothing
less
than
a
world-class
movie
from
the
golden
team
of
Shankar,
Rajinikanth
and
Akshay
Kumar.
Has
the
movie
lived
up
to
tremendous
hype
and
equally
big
expectations
bestowed
on
it?
Read
2.0
review
here
to
get
the
answer.
2.0
has
a
brand
new
story
to
narrate
which
has
a
scientific
background.
The
plot
is
set
in
a
city
where
one
fine
day
all
the
mobile
phones
start
disappearing.
People
are
left
in
a
state
of
shock
after
a
series
of
events.
It
is
then
that
Dr
Vaseegaran
steps
in
and
the
government
gets
his
help
in
bringing
back
the
robot
named
Chitti.
What
happens
later
has
been
narrated
in
2.0.
Shankar's
visualization,
as
well
as
the
conceptualization,
of
a
never
heard
before
storyline
in
the
most
convincing
way
is
definitely
one
among
the
strong
points
of
2.0.
He
weaves
drama
into
a
science
fiction
tale
by
adding
the
necessary
logical
elements.
The
script
jointly
penned
by
Shankar
and
Jeyamohan
wastes
no
time
in
unwanted
elements
and
gets
into
the
core
plot
without
wasting
much
time.
However,
one
would
get
a
feel
that
the
screenplay
could
have
been
a
bit
more
tighter
in
the
first
half
of
the
film,
where
the
narration
is
a
bit
plain.
Nevertheless,
the
writer
and
film-maker
make
it
up
for
that
in
the
latter
half
of
the
movie,
which
is
a
scintillating
ride.
Well,
only
a
film-maker
and
a
visionary
like
Shankar
could
have
pulled
off
such
a
concept
with
conviction.
For
example,
the
execution
of
this
last
30-40
minutes
of
the
film
is
simply
unmatchable.
The
packaging
is
top-notch
with
the
director
remaining
focused
throughout
the
movie.
He
has
also
made
the
best
use
of
the
actor
as
well
as
the
superstar
in
Rajinikanth.
More
importantly,
much
like
the
previous
films
of
Shankar,
this
film
also
has
a
social
angle
and
delivers
an
important
message.
Rajinikanth,
the
superstar
once
again
proves
why
he
is
the
ultimate
crowd
puller
of
Indian
cinema.
His
screen
presence
is
amazing
and
the
energy
with
which
he
has
portrayed
the
characters
is
unmatchable.
Watch
out
for
his
portrayal
of
2.0,
which
is
sure
to
offer
a
big
treat
to
the
fans.
Akshay
Kumar
gets
to
play
a
very
meaty
role,
which
has
been
well-etched.
He
comes
up
with
a
scintillating
performance
as
the
bird
man
as
well
as
the
old
man.
Amy
Jackson's
Nila
didn't
have
much
to
do
in
the
film.
Rest
of
star
cast
comprise
of
actors
like
Adhil
Hussain,
Sudhanshu
Pandey,
Kalabhavan
Shajohn
etc.
AR
Rahman's
music
and
BGM
do
wonders
to
the
film.
Especially,
his
thumping
BGM
in
those
tense
situations
of
the
movie
really
add
to
the
excitement
level
of
the
movie.
Cinematography
by
Nirav
Shah
is
top-notch
and
the
editing
deserves
special
mention,
especially
for
the
fabulous
work
in
the
second
half
of
the
movie.
Without
any
second
thought,
it
could
be
said
that
2.0
is
undoubtedly
the
best
ever
visual
experience
that
Indian
cinema
has
ever
produced.
The
VFX
works
are
top-notch
and
the
time
invested
for
the
same
didn't
go
in
vain.
Having
shot
in
3D,
2.0
offers
a
fantastic
3D
experience,
which
would
be
a
delight
for
one
and
all.
In
short,
2.0
is
a
majestic
visual
experience
that
should
be
savoured
from
the
theatres.
Here
is
a
film
that
has
met
all
the
big
expectations
bestowed
on
it.
